[Lu Zhen] Empress Dowager is difficult

On the night Gao Zhan was imprisoned, Consort Xu and Princess Chang, who guarded Yuzhou, rushed back to Yecheng with the newborn son.On the bright side, the eldest princess was eager to miss her younger brother, and she brought her husband to see off her younger brother who was about to be executed, but in the dark, Gao Yan wanted to take back the soldiers and horses from Xu Xianxiu, so he deliberately recruited him under the order of the queen mother. When I came back, I borrowed the excuse of the empress dowager's eagerness for a daughter.

It is said that on that day, the eldest princess arrived in Yecheng at nightfall, before the princess mansion was entered, and the emperor did not see her, she rushed to the dungeon without touching the ground, all she could think of was this unworthy younger brother.As a result, it didn't take long for the talent to go in, when he heard a burst of cursing from inside, and the eldest princess was scolded all the way out of the dungeon by Gao Zhan.

I couldn't hear the general words clearly, I only heard a few words saying that the eldest princess and the queen mother conspired to kill him and so on.The guards outside heard these words a lot, but because most of them had heard the rumors about Gao Zhan's insanity, they didn't take such rebellious words to heart.

It was night, when the eldest princess entered the palace, she wore a sable suede cloak with wide sleeves that dragged across the cold ground, and fell to her knees outside the Zhaoyang Hall with a "plop" against the thick fog in the middle of the night, and couldn't get up on her knees.

The purpose of her trip was naturally to intercede for her only younger brother.

But unfortunately, the only person in the world who can persuade Gao Yan, the Empress Dowager Lou who saved Gao Zhan's life, a few days ago when playing chess with others in the garden, the cold wind blew, which caused a serious illness and a headache attack , right now I can't even get out of bed.

Thus, the Eldest Princess knelt down from the middle of the night to the early morning of the next day.

At dawn, Zhaojun put on his clothes and got up. First, he walked to the window and pushed the window open a little. He took the story book that he hadn't read last night and continued to flip through it.

Since the bowl of ginseng soup that Qing Qiang poured into her by mistake last time, she has become more and more comfortable recently, not to mention blowing the wind, even soaking in cold water for a few minutes is not a big deal. May be sick.The headache was just used to trick the one kneeling outside the hall.

The matter of Gao Zhan is a certainty, and it is impossible for him to turn over like a salted fish.Zhaojun loves Gao Xiang more because she doesn't have a daughter, but that doesn't mean she can grant all her requests.Not this time.

Zhaojun drank a pot of morning tea leisurely, touched a handful of melon seeds, sat by the window and finished reading a book of Chinese stories, Qing Qiang pushed open the palace door and entered according to the time.First, he was stunned when he saw Gao Xiang kneeling on the ground, and then hurriedly helped her up, and called Gao Xiang out of his mind after calling several times in a hurry.

Looking from Zhaojun's direction, through the hazy window shadow, you can just see Gao Xiang crying and almost fainting, Qing Qiang wanted to pull her up, but she insisted on kneeling on the ground, the two tugged for a while Son, Qing Qiang bent down and whispered something in her ear.Gao Xiang's expression stopped suddenly, the tears stopped, and he stopped making noise, and a little doubt flashed in his eyes.

Then, Qing Qiang raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder, as if the negotiation was over, he sent her all the way out the door.Gao Xiang, who was still very excited just now, suddenly became docile and soft. When she walked to the door, she turned her head and looked in the direction of the window of Zhaojun's bedroom. Because of the distance, what kind of expression did she have on her face? Zhaojun couldn't see clearly.

It's just that Qing Qiang, who was going out with Gao Xiang, also paused at the door, and looked back to look somewhat similar to Gao Xiang.After looking back, the two went out hand in hand, until nightfall, neither of them came back.

What is the meaning of that expression at the end of the day? Sitting by the window, Zhaojun pondered over this question for a long time, but to no avail, so he got up and walked around to the small kitchen to get a plate of cakes, and then wandered back to the dormitory. A pot of cold tea can be regarded as a lunch.Qing Qiang didn't set foot in Zhaoyang Hall all day, Zhaojun felt a little deserted, but felt that this was a rare desertion.

In this rare solitude, Zhaojun finished reading two old backlog books, and then thought about the meaning of Qing Qiang's expression at the end of the day for most of the day.The question haunted her until she fell asleep.For many years later, when Zhaojun recalled this day, he felt that he was really a very sensitive person!At that time, Qing Qiang's glance back was probably just a casual glance, but she was able to perceive something was wrong, which is really gratifying.

The expression in Qing Qiang's expression can be defined as guilt.

This point, Zhaojun suddenly realized in the dream, that is, in this sudden, she woke up, the lotus-colored bed curtain came into view, the noisy weapon sound was pulled away, and fell into her ears from afar.Zhaojun turned his head to look at it. From a little farther away, he saw clusters of flames rising from the window, and someone shouted in shock: "Someone is robbing the prison! The Hall of Renshou is flooded, save people quickly—"

The one who was closer was Qing Qiang who was sitting on the edge of the bed with her head bowed, looking a bit tangled.

Zhaojun looked at the window that was shining with fire, then at Qing Qiang, and asked with some doubts: "Is this, is it a dream?"

Hearing these words, Qing Qiang trembled suddenly, as if she was startled by Zhao Jun's sudden opening, when she raised her head, there were faint tears on her face.

Zhaojun was taken aback by her tears, since the day Qing Qiang entered the palace, Zhaojun had always suspected that this girl must have broken her brain when she was a child.When Qing Qiang entered the palace, she was just a little girl, and because she had an aunt who was not very favored, her life in the palace was not smooth, and she was bullied all the time.But Zhaojun had never seen her cry, even in extreme pain, he could only see her rubbing the corners of her eyes, and then suppressing her tears.

Therefore, Zhaojun was a little frightened when he saw the tears on her face, so he muttered to himself, "Is it really a dream?"

Qing Qiang could not bear it, a tear fell from the corner of her eye, before the tears fell to the ground, she knelt down with a thud, and tremblingly said: "Auntie, Qing Qiang is sorry!"

Zhaojun felt his heart tremble.

Qing Qiang in front of her was crying like this, she and Gao Xiang looked back with guilt when they went out in the morning, coupled with the chaos outside the house, and the sentence just now, it is not difficult to deduce the reason for everything.It's nothing more than Qing Qiang and Gao Xiang finding someone to rob the prison in order to save Gao Zhan's life.Perhaps this matter cannot be accomplished with the strength of the two of them, and they need to rely on the help of others.

For example, Lu Zhen, who has been too emotionally hurt recently and stays behind closed doors, or Shen Bi, who has been diagnosed with Ximai and has been cultivating recently, or there may be other people to help.In the first battle of Yuzhou, Rouran Khan lost his beloved son and [-] strong members of his family. In an instant, he fell from a once powerful tribe to a fat meat that he liked to bite as often as he liked.Now the only grandson is going to be executed again, how can he bear it?

After killing Xing, there are many more Rouran people in Yecheng, their hearts are clear, Zhaojun expected that these people would take the opportunity to save Gao Zhan, and she also prepared the opportunity for them.In this matter, she underestimated the courage of these people. She thought that these people would at most ambush on the execution road, and then rescued Gao Zhan by surprise.Never thought that these people are really so fat and fat, so fat that they rushed to Jietian Prison.

It's just that Zhaojun couldn't understand why there was Lou Qingqiang among those who wanted to save Gao Zhan.She thought so, so she asked, "Why help them?"

His voice was still calm, but a little hoarse.Zhaojun is satisfied with himself.

Qing Qiang looked down at her hand for a long time before she choked up and said, "I can't, I can't help him. Aunt, Qing Qiang begs you, tonight, just pretend nothing happened, wait until tomorrow, wait until tomorrow Everything will be fine tomorrow." She said eagerly, and within a few words, tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

The Zhaojun who she kept trying to save was dizzy, could it be that Qing Qiang had slowly fallen in love with Gao Zhan before she knew it?That's why you said you had to save him?Zhaojun felt that this fleeting idea was ridiculous. If Qingqiang fell in love with Gao Zhan, he would not have joined hands with her step by step to push Gao Zhan into the abyss of eternal doom.

Zhaojun looked at her with some pity, no matter who she liked, according to her past temper, she should be really anxious to be able to cry like this.Zhaojun calmed down the surging blood in his heart, collected himself, and said to her, "Who are you going to save? Isn't it Gao Zhan?"

Qing Qiang trembled, covered her eyes with her hands, and twitched the corners of her lips, but she wanted to speak but it seemed that the name made her unable to speak.

Zhaojun's heart skipped a beat. For many days, she had a vague premonition that this girl was unwilling to marry, unwilling to say the name of her sweetheart, and running around the palace day after day. not much.Zhaojun has always felt in his heart that it should be that person, and this should be the answer.But Zhao Jun couldn't accept such an answer.

Stretching out his hand to caress his chest, Zhao Jun decided to ask, "It's Gao Huan?"

Qing Qiang jumped up from the ground as if she had been greatly frightened, and said, "How is that possible!"

Zhaojun looked at her: "If it's not him, then who?"

Qing Qiang's expression froze, and the sad look in his eyes slowly floated up again.

With her appearance, Zhaojun felt somewhat familiar in his heart.She took a deep breath, took a deep breath, and said the name softly: "Is... Ah Zhao?"

Qing Qiang didn't speak this time, she just slumped on the ground a little weakly, and looked at the pair of gold silk soft-soled shoes by the corner of the bed with empty eyes, which was a kind of sad look caught in memories.

Zhaojun confirmed: "It really is Ah Zhao." After a pause, he asked in doubt: "What does this matter about Ah Zhao?"

Outside the window, the flames were shining brightly, and the voices of people were noisy, but the sound of such a noisy and prosperous world was blocked by the window casement. The hall was silent for a long time, and green smoke was slowly burning in the incense burner.

Qing Qiang lowered her eyes and said, "Auntie is also very curious, why uncle suddenly became Gao Huan."

This is the first time to hear Qing Qiang call Gao Huan by his name, Zhao Jun finds it strange.She thinks it's normal for Qing Qiang to think so, because Qing Qiang doesn't know that the Lou Zhaojun in front of her is no longer the Lou Zhaojun she used to be. up.Knowing the day when Lou Zhao became Gao Huan, Zhaojun didn't feel so strange, Gao Huan occupied Lou Zhao's body, just like Lou Zhaojun now occupied the former Lou Zhaojun's body.

At that time, Zhaojun only felt that Gao Huan must bear the life of her own brother.

But after hearing Qing Qiang's question, Zhaojun was not ashamed to say that I was not curious.Then he slowly turned over and sat up, sitting on the edge of the bed looking for shoes to wear.Thousands of words in the belly turned thousands of times, and when they came out of the mouth, they turned into one sentence: "Oh, I'm really curious, tell me, what is the reason?"

Qing Qiang slowly raised her head, and softly said two words: "Duoshe."

The author has something to say:

--About why Zhaojun is so calm after being betrayed, I will explain it in the next chapter.

╮(╯▽╰)╭Finally, I have written to Duoshe here. It has gone through untold hardships! ! !As a person who changes every day for three months, shouldn't the girls praise Master Gu~~~
